Look Terrific

With a few days without baseball (wait, you consider tonight’s debacle baseball?), now is a great time to browse through the Handpicked Mets Store and order some things you really don’t need, but would really like to have.

OK, maybe that’s a bit out of your price range … but there are many more affordable options in the store, including a Lenny Dykstra jersey, Doc and Straw tops, and an autographed HoJo road jersey.

Or, if you’re the type to drag a boat back and forth to the shore, why not dress up the hitch with a Mets trailer hitch cover? Believe me, that’s not the most unusual item I found — have fun perusing yourself by going to the Mets Handpicked Store. Whenever you buy something from there, you’ll be supporting the server costs and associated upkeep of MetsToday — and if there’s any profit at the end of the year, I’ll donate some of it to a worthy charity (or charities).

Joe Janish began MetsToday in 2005 to provide the unique perspective of a high-level player and coach -- he earned NCAA D-1 All-American honors as a catcher and coached several players who went on to play pro ball. As a result his posts often include mechanical evaluations, scout-like analysis, and opinions that go beyond the numbers.
